Happy New Year’s, Lakers! We hope that you are having a great winter break and that you are sticking to your resolutions for the new year.
Don’t have a resolution yet? Here are some ideas that you can still apply to the upcoming semester at the Lake!
Stop procrastinating
Last semester is behind you. New classes loom in the approaching semester. Make the resolution for the Spring 2020 semester that homework will not be done the night before. Grab yourself a planner and space it all out.
Be more conscious about what you post on social media
We have all heard this growing up in the new age of technology, but it is always nice to be reminded to be careful about what you post. As all our teachers preached, “the internet is forever.” Take time to think about the meme you’re sharing or the subtweet you’re about to tweet.
Put money on your Wright1 Card
Please do not forget this! Nothing is worse than having to print an essay before class and having to transfer money to your card to pay for it. Avoid the stress and put a few dollars on it before you need it.
Renew your student membership to the YMCA
Bring your Wright1 Card and Spring 2020 semester schedule to sign up for your student membership to the YMCA. They offer numerous facilities and programs to keep your mind and body toned for the new semester.
Actually use your student membership to the YMCA
This one is the tough part, but use your student membership. Go back after the first week. Swim some laps in the pool and maybe play a game of basketball with your classmates. It’s too good of an offer to pass up!
Stop in at the new Library and Technology Center between classes
Newly opened in October 2019, the Library and Technology Center is the perfect place to stop between classes to organize your homework and prepare for your next class in a peaceful atmosphere. It has plenty of seating and several desks with outlets for you and your electronics to recharge.
Do the readings for your classes
As the semester goes on, doing the readings for classes becomes harder. Don’t give in though! Do your readings. Make this resolution in order to power through the words and avoid the awkward silence that ensues when the professor asks about the assignment.
Stop taking study breaks after every sentence you write for that 2000-word paper
You can do this. It’s easy to reward yourself for doing the bare minimum, but progress still needs to be made. Make this resolution in order to break through finals week and the stress that comes with it. Once again, you can do this.
Happy New Year’s, Lakers. We’re excited to see you in a few weeks! We hope you decide to adopt some of these resolutions in order to make this semester, and year, the best one yet!
